Ability to create a transcript either by uploading an audio file, or providing a link of an audio file like a Gdrive link. Taskade transcribe the audio and provides transcription. Later an option to create a project out of the transcript.

Thanks for the request, and for the use cases in the comments. Here is what works today: in Automations, the step "Turn a recording into a project" transcribes an audio file and builds a project from the transcript. Pair it with the Media trigger "When a file is added", and a recording you upload becomes a project without any extra clicks. A transcribe option in the Import dialog, and import from a Google Drive link, are still open, and votes help us prioritize them.

You can do this today with an automation. Open Automations, click Create automation and add the Taskade action "Turn a recording into a project": give it an audio file (a voice memo, meeting, interview or podcast) and Taskade transcribes it and turns the words into a project outline. Upload the recording to your workspace first, or pass it in from the "Save a file to Media" action. We would love to hear how it works on your recordings!

Great request and clearly a popular one — the ability to drop in an audio file (or a Google Drive link) and get a clean transcript that feeds directly into a project would be a massive time-saver for meetings, interviews, voice notes, and podcasts.
We've had YouTube transcription as an automation action for a while now (improved in v5.175.0), and transcription is built into our agent tooling — but uploading a raw audio file and getting a transcript out of it is not a native workflow yet. The second half of your request — converting the transcript into a structured project — is something our AI agents already do well once you have the text.
This is a well-defined feature with real demand, and we're actively thinking about audio file support as part of our knowledge and media ingestion work. In the meantime, if you transcribe audio externally (Whisper, Otter.ai, etc.), you can paste the result and have a Taskade Genesis agent (https://taskade.com/create) instantly organize it into tasks, summaries, or action items.
We hear you on this one — it's on the roadmap. Track progress at https://taskade.com/changelog

I was checking and found this post. Perhaps an agent tool to connect to OpenAI whisper via my own OpenAI API. So the cost of the transcription would be mine, not Taskade’s. I have a need to transcribe appointments setting calls and fill a meeting notes template. If this api integration was available I wouldn’t need to go the N8N route…. And keep everything within Taskade. About 60 appointments per day.
This integration would be similar to what the Harpa.ai does. I can use my own api and leverage their tools. Amazing chrome extension by the way. Have a
Look and let me know please.

Hi gabriel.ross, the OpenAI step in Automations uses your own key, but it has no transcription action yet. To pay for Whisper yourself today, add the HTTP step "Send HTTP Request", send a Multipart body with the audio file URL to the OpenAI transcription endpoint, and put your key in the Authorization header. Then pass the text to an "Ask AI" step that fills your meeting notes template.

Or just an mp4 file from a iPhone

Hi ada.qvist, thanks for adding the iPhone case. In Automations, the step "Turn a recording into a project" is made for audio recordings, so start there with a voice memo. Video files such as an mp4 are a separate case, and we noted it on this request.
